What is memory? Where does the mind go when the circuits shut down? The novel covers seven years in the lives of Solome and Stephen Savard in St. Paul, Minnesota. Stephen is provost at Cobson College, and Solome has raised three children. The events alternate between Stephen's first-person narrative and Solome's third-person narrative in accord with the breaking text of their lives. \"Once there was a common Indo-European language with words for winter and horse, but no word for the sea.\" The history of the English language has an inland origin. As they find themselves stranded in the destructive effects of Stephen's Alzheimer's, there also is an exploration of resolution that comes from such an experience. Mark 8:36 asks, \"What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?\" No Word for the Sea asks, \"What if a man gains his soul, but loses the world?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiane Glancy is professor emerita at Macalester College.
